The master blaster has been an ambassador for DaanUtsav ever since the festival began in 2009. He signed up his commitment by doubling his support for education from 200 to 400 children in June 2009 at the launch of the festival. On March 2, 2010, just a week after he scored the first one-day international double century against South Africa in Gwalior, he again took time off his busy schedule, providing a day’s cricket coaching for charity. And now, on the 10th anniversary of India’s festival of giving, he has again come forward to encourage his fans to give back.

This DaanUtsav, everyone is invited to gift a child a chance to play. All one has to do is to gift any sport equipment to any child whose parents can’t afford it. And share it in any of the following ways-

WhatsApp a picture or video with yourself, the child and your gift to +918879756178, OR

Post the picture or video on fb.me/daanutsav, with the hashtag #DaanUtsavWithSachin.

Post the pic on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #DaanUtsavWithSachin and tag @daanutsav

Everyone doing so gets a chance to win a cricket bat personally autographed by Sachin Tendulkar.

“The greatest gift that I got from my parents was the freedom to play and the right to play. Sport has the power to change the world. This Daan Utsav, Let’s try and gift a child a chance to play” says Sachin.

Any sport equipment is OK to give – it doesn’t have to be an expensive one. It can be a TT, tennis or football, or a hockey stick, boxing gloves, any coaching equipment too. Something that a child can play with and cherish.
